Returned with Honor

Hey yall,

As many know my older brother came home from his mission very recently. He returned from Brazil where he had a very sucessful mission. I was able to spend 3 weeks with him before he went off to school, and it was sooo awesome!!! Its weird for him to be gone for two years come back for only three weeks and leave again :(. It just wasn't enough time :/. The more important thing is that he is back home safe and is doing amazingly well. :)

It sure is great to have him home!! I am so proud of him!! I am so grateful to have him as a brother, his has been an amazing example for me throughout my life!! He is such an inspiration, and just can't express the graditude I have for him. I look up to him so much and he has helped guide me through the right direction in life.

Hey yall so i'm new at this. I almost don't know what to say haha. It seems everyone has been telling me to get one of these and well now i have one. Well recently i went to efy(especially for youth for those of you who don't know what it is) and it was amazing. It was my last year and it was the best. I made some of the greatest friendships and continued friendships with others. I learned so much from just that one week away from the world. I learned somethings i already knew, somethings i needed to be reminded of and things that were new and that i needed to know. The theme was Be thou an example of the Believers. The scripture to that is 1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no man despise thy youth, but be thou an example of he believers in word, conversation, charity, faith and purity" That has been one of the best themes. I really miss it but now its back into the real world where i need to remember everything i learned while at camp and continue to learn daily. I am so grateful to have the Gospel in my life it brings so much happiness to me and i want to share that happiness with others. :)
the end to my first blog :)
with much love,
